An option for parents to be involved.  My parents are currently looking at collaborating with a company that recycles old uniforms...and they have a working bee making scrunchies from old uniforms...this is just amazing commitment and involvement!  We need to harness this creativity rather than stifle with an old constitution!

I think anything is possible with hard work and consistency. I have really enjoyed recently building on our PAG at St Brigid's. By listening to what our parents would like to see and meeting with them on a regular basis to see where we can improve I truly feel we can have a very strong parent body.
